So who really knows what this latest price spike is attributed too?

We have the following:

We have user growth, no real competitors and technical fundamentals. Grin

What I do know is that the networking effect is kicking in and we are now in the same user growth phase as both Bitcoin and Ethereum during the Reddit 30K to 80K subscriber phase.

Price appreciation has been around 800% in this phase in a very short time frame:
Bitcoin 8 Months
Ether 4 Months

I'm predicting a $1K price in a very short period. Probably the end of March when we historically have our highs. I'm guessing we will have a protracted pullback after that.

For the first time in 4 years, I'm having problems withdrawing XMR from Polo. Same as Ether when it took off!

Good times ahead! Grin

I want to add all kinds of people are often name dropping Monero as their second interest or a project to follow.

How many bitcoin things I watched like that, its very encouraging.
